One of my favourite UK daytime TV shows is one where middle aged (and older) rich people buy houses in the countryside.

It's aimed at right wing, house price obsessed, retired people.

Every third couple is gay.

The show always describes them as "lifelong friends".

Like, I've got friends I've known for most of my life. I've never considered buying a house in the Cotswolds and moving in with them...

Tom and Steve are an interior decorator and fitness instructor, and lifelong friends. They are looking to move to brighton into a new house together, as they are looking to adopt some kids and their old studio flat they shared for 10 years in soho is too small to raise children, but they are not gay or anything like that.
